Ladakh Chronicles, part 3 – Manali-Leh Journey

April 5th, 2009

Mountain Roads, Changing Nature and one incident of AMS

6^th July
Early morning 5′o clock. Cold atmostphere. Hot cup of coffee and Ashok’s warm good morning. Our journey started with only one little problem. The weather was rainy and clouds were covering most of the view. The road was wet and foggy, slowing down our vehicle. I usually like to photograph rainy season, but we all were hoping for bit clearer weather. Prateek said that we should get clearer weather past Keylong or at max Baralachla pass. We had nice filled breakfast before Rohtang pass, I relished on nice double omelet, while Maggi and Jaimin feasted on Parathas and Bhutta (Corn Cob)

Ladakh Chronicles, part 8 – Tso Moriri

April 5th, 2009

God’s mirror in the mountain

14^th July
We got up early and got ready. As the drive to Tso Moriri was a long one, we were to leave early. We left our guesthouse at around 9:30. As Prateek wasn’t there, Qayyum (from Plan Himalayas) was going to be with us on the Tso Moriri camping trip. Though, three of our members had gone, our vehicle was full. Besides Amjad (driver) and Qayyum, there was our cook and bags of food supply. We had kind of a lazy start till Upshi, as the weather was a bit dull… both outside and inside our vehicle. We really hoped that this drive and Tso Moriri, to be really good to sucker us back into that traveler’s mood.

We took a small halt at Upshi, as Qayyum and Amjad had left without breakfast. While they were having breakfast we also decided to have another round of tea. A nice hot herbal tea was a good idea indeed, as it helped a bit to awaken our senses.
